  wow qp! good for you for taking initiative, it sounds like you had a few successful days! i'm so excited for you! wishing you lots and lots of return customers!

• alabamagirl said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Good Job!  Your motivated.  You will do well in life.  What your doing may seem small now, but who knows what it could lead too.  Theres this song by Jay J that says "How You Get So High I Said From Not Being Afraid To Fall Out The Sky."  Keep flying high!

• queenparanoia said on Jun 16, 2009....

  fraggles: well yesterday wasnt a good day... but today it was!!! i hope i could sell all of them like today!! have anice day fraggles... ;-)
   
  alabama: i will fly high... and yes i have bigger plans in the future... ;-) 

• uniquely-ironic said on Jun 16, 2009....

  that is wonderful!  You are doing so good!  I wouldn't worry what people think as far as "she went to university" and such.  You are now doing something that you seem to enjoy and is in the field that you wanted to work in. (food and pastries)  As you grow the business you could expand into areas that you enjoy more.

• Hegemone said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Queenie that's so neat!  Also, you're making me hungry!  Lol.  I'd love to be able to start a little business like that, sounds like you did quite well.  Give it time, take nature's lesson to have patience and value it.  You need time to learn what days are good sale days and what days are bad, this way on the generally bad days you buy less meat to begin with and thus you do not lose any money on the whole thing.  You'll soon see the patterns, and word will spread for you as long as you keep up the (I'm sure) delicious work!  I need to go find lunch .... lol.

  well congratulations qpdoll, only your second day and you almost sold out! and you were all worried last night! you may have to make more and start earlier because you're going to be so popular! :-)

• wombat said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Yea for you!  Reminds me of a commercial here for a personal business job--you can't get fired or laid off!  If I was lucky enough to be a tourist there, I would surely try some of that BBQ pork!  (Not sure about the liver, but the other stuff I would test-taste)

  Best of luck in your new venture!

• hotaka said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Wow! Good stuff, queenP. I am hungry already and reading about your b-b-q foods is making me drool. Well, yes, it is hard work and though it may not be glamorous it is honest work. You may not rake in tons of cash but it can be a good learning experience. And well, who knows, you might have to open up another stand, and another... Queen Paranoia's Meat Treats!

• ABOVE_TOP_SECRET said on Jun 16, 2009....

  That looked SOOOOO GOOD!

• ALIENated said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Yum. Barbecue. And capitalism at its simplest. You go girl. Fun, is it not? I am in the same boat -- I have not worked (at a job) this year. I want to do my own thang as well. No more big companies. Rain on them.

• MsStar39 said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Congratulations Queenie, you will do well.

• queenparanoia said on Jun 16, 2009....

  hotaka: that's a good name... ;-) well i'm saving up for smething right now thats why i'm doing this... ;-) i hope i could enough money right away!!!!

  abovetop: yup... ;-)

  alienated: i hate big companies now. you do ll the work and theyre the one getting profit from it...

  msstar: thank you!!! and i hope so... ;-)

• Lioness said on Jun 16, 2009....

  Hi queen, wow, that is a lucrative business, just be patient. Saraaaap!!!!! Can I have a taste??? Yes, you get smelly and dirty, but what matters is, it's yours.
  
  Goodluck queen!!
  

• wombat said on Jun 17, 2009....

  Don't know about the ears--you're right about that.  But I've had the intestines.  We call them "chitterlings" here---or "chitlins" in country slang.  Granted, I only had them once when I was really hungry with the munchies back many years ago, but I remember they weren't too dang bad!  Like pork rinds in a bag.

• scipio said on Jun 17, 2009....

  Best of Luck. No harm in doing a good honest job. Sell good quality stuff and don't lower your quality of food to earn more money. That will defintely ruin you.
  A satisfied customer will tell 6 and a dissatisfied customer will tell 10.
  So there you have all the business principles which they don't teach you at Harvard.

• Twylarants said on Jun 17, 2009....

  Good for you, Queen of the BBQ!  You identified a need and you filled it, which is exactly what a successful entrepreneur does.  What do you call your business?

• Edriisxe said on Jun 17, 2009....

  Thanks. That was inspiring. I hope you get where you want to be.

   

  I will keep following my dreams the best I can. =]

• moonriver said on Jun 17, 2009....

  chicken claws, queenie.
  you must develop an irresistible recipe for marinated chicken claws.
  
  

• queenparanoia said on Jun 17, 2009....

  lioness: hat's right!!! and i dont have a boss!!! for now wala pang kita. konti lang pa lang but expected na yan... ;-)

  wombat: wombie believe me if you tasted mine you would like it!!! especially the pig's ears!!! lol... ;-)

  twylarants: well, technically i'm a street vendor...lol... but youre right i have a goal and i know i can reach this by working hard on it... ;-)

  edriixse: glad you like it and follow your dreams... ;-)

  moonriver: i'm c oncentrating more on isaw.... believe me my isaws are the best!!!! ;-)

• Raindropkisses said on Jun 17, 2009....

  rain: thank you rain!! kung andito ka papatikim ko barbecue ko!!! ;-)

• dyingman said on Jun 21, 2009....

  WAY 2 GO!
  
  It's the advice I'm giving people.  Screw corporate America.
  Make your own job and cut out the cheapskate managers.
  
  You'll put in the same 60 hours but get paid decent.
  
  LLC's cost 400 a year which protects you from lawsuits if you're here in the states, people. 
  
  Let's build back America without the puppetmasters.

  dyingman: dude i'm not american. i live in the philippines... but thanks of rthe comment... ;-)
